On Thursday 22 October 2009, Herbert Media won the prestigious Godiva award for Best Business Innovation. Their unique resources meant that they stood head and shoulders above their competitors in a category which assesses superior standards in innovation at work, whilst utilising equality and diversity across the business to best exceed customer expectations.
Richard Elms, Head of Media, who picked up the award, said "Coventry is a city that has a rich history of innovating and innovators and the whole media team is really proud to be a part of that. The work we've done in the past year is only a pre-curser to what we have planned and this award shows that we're doing something right".
Held this year at the Warwick Arts Centre, the Godiva Awards recognise and rewards excellence in Coventry and Warwickshire.
